My God Is An Awesome God

My god is an awesome god

My God is an awesome God…my portion, my strength, my all.

I begin most days with prayer and meditation during my morning workouts.  The places my mind travels to while running those miles on the treadmill, set the framework for how I deal with whatever challenges I may face.  Recently, the verse from scripture below spoke to me and everything that it inspired within me, is what I’ve written in this poem.  May your day be filled with the things that inspire you as well.

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for The Lord God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6) Continue reading →

Silence

Silence - Black Dog

“Black Lab” graphite pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Silence

I waited for you all day long,

but you would not come…silence.

My heart cried out to you,

but you would not hear me…silence.

My arms reached out for you,

but you refused my embrace…silence.

My tears are shedding, I am broken,

but you do not care…silence. Continue reading →

Love, the heart of the matter

Love, the heart of the matter

“Tulips” colored pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

 

A dear friend of mine once asked me what I thought about God, as related to His creation…

Love, the heart of the matter.

In my opinion, the human body is the most incredible of all created things…for it was created in God’s image. In His image;  what an awesome thing to ponder. We cannot comprehend it, yet, we are wonderfully made. Continue reading →

Dance…Poetry in Motion

Dance - poetry in motion

“Spring” graphite pencil drawing, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

“Move, dance, let your body write its own poem.”

Dance…Poetry In Motion
A body in motion,
A river flowing…
Connected, never far apart.
A figure swaying to her inner rhythm,
A trickling stream rushing toward the open sea,
Silence gives way to a single note,
The body awakens; the hint of a dance
The chord has been struck, there is no turning back,
Hear the music, breathe in the melody,
Linger there, let it guide you freely,
Can you feel it?
Take the first step, never regret it…
A promise never failed…live your dream,
Become it! Continue reading →

Colorful reflections….to brighten your day.

colorful reflections of an orange lily with raindrops

“Orange Lily Glistening with Raindrops”, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

“Dazzling, glistening, beaming, bright… Can you imagine a world without color?”

Mmmmmm, I am listening to the most delicious piece of music by Erik Satie, “Gymnopedi for Piano No. 1”, colorful and soothing. It causes me to reflect upon one morning, not too long ago, when I was awakened by the most brilliant rays of the sun filtering into the bedroom window.  It was the  Thanksgiving holiday.   I’d just opened my eyes for the first time that morning.  I happened to Continue reading →

Almost time to play…

We’re halfway through the week.  It’s almost time to play.

I wrote this poem on a whim after reviewing some scans of my pet portrait portfolio.  This little girl, “April”, always puts a smile on my face; I hope she does the same for you.  Go on, have fun, play…she’s waiting!

Almost time to play - April

Will You Come and Play with Me?

Romp, play, spin around,

Will you come and play with me?

Throw the ball and I’ll fetch it; I may even catch it!

Will you come and play with me?

I’ll chase my tail, I’ll make you laugh,

Will you come and play with me? Continue reading →

Inspire me with what moves you.

Inspire Me!

“African Violets” Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

 Inspire Me…Tell me what moves you; what makes you feel alive.

It has been a while since I’ve taken the time to sit down and write. Words are far too precious to me, and not to be wasted, when I really have nothing to say.  Today I have a word, one that is multifaceted; one that to me, is alive!  What is it, you ask?    “Inspire”!

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.”  T.S. Eliot

“Inspire.”  It’s the kind of word that is meaningless, unless it is a part of something; unless it “brings forth”. I am inspired right now.  Creativity is flowing through my veins; it’s radiating through my fingertips!  Can you feel it?  What does it inspire in you?

To be a Father (a tribute for Father’s Day)

To be a Father

“Peonies”, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

A privilege, an honor

a treasure to behold,

to be a Father.

An awesome responsibility,

a blessing from above,

never be it taken for granted,

to be a Father.

A source of security, guidance, wisdom, strength,
